Interesting! I’ve read a lot of reviews lately comparing the Pre with the G1 (and iPhone) and I have to say, this is good news. I saw this blog http://www.tiny.cc/techubiquitous today and it gave a comprehensive look at the three phones, but no where did they mention the fact that GMail Push would come to the Pre… Awesome!
